I copied the following from another forum, thought it might be of some interest here. --- IanGuess a lot of you guys know me but for those who don't, I'm Lynn Halstead. I operated the casting company "Dry Creek Bullet Works, Inc". We had customers who didn't want to use pay pal claiming they were anti gun. Finally I learned first hand the customer is always right. My account was froze and I was allowed only to withdraw my funds. I could pay no one or accept payment from anyone. Why?
